CAPTAIN OLIVER turned in a promising performance on debut. He should make good improvement but a wide draw is a worry. It could allow for a horse like NEW FRONTIER to finally go one better after finishing second in his last two. He has drawn well and has the pace to hold his position. Watch out for SILVER PLATTER who is well related and ran a fair race on local debut. He has been given pole position and could take advantage. TIDAL ROCK is a well-bred first-timer that must be watched. More can get into the money.
